Sir Gawain is imminent! I'm signing copies next week before they're sent to you!

Dear supporter,

Just a quick note to tell you that next week I shall be travelling into London to sign/dedicate nearly 300 copies of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight before the copies are at last delivered to you. It's been a long journey but we're nearly there - I couldn't have done this without your continued support.

I'll be signing the books on Thursday 28th which means that your books will most likely be with you w/c 1st July.

For those of you who pledged for the Launch Feast, I shall be in contact very shortly with exciting news about this.

I can't believe that my work has received the backing of 480 people - I'm truly astonished by the success and I hope that you will enjoy what I've produced; please do feel free to contact me via my website or via my twitter account - I'm always happy to hear from fellow fans of the Alliterative Revival.

Finally, if you'd like to support my current translation of King Arthur's Death (the Alliterative Morte Arthure), a poem written in Yorkshire/Lincolnshire and second only to Gawain in these magnificent 14th Century works (and nearly twice as long), I'd be very grateful to have you on board again for the next charge into the reign of Richard II.

If you do pledge, please use the Promotion Code Gawain10 when pledging and you'll receive a 10% saving on any pledge value up to £100.

Advance Alliteration in Another Illustrious World!

Kind regards

Michael Smith
